<p>When your friends/peers in general ask you "What did you get on ." whether it be about test scores, projects, essays, how do you avoid those questions when you don't want to tell them (even if you did good on it)? I don't want to be like "It's none of your business" cause people don't take that well idk if you guys had clever ways to avoid them, especially with really nosy people.</p>
<p>You could say something like, “I did fine, how about you?” or just leave it at the fine and quickly change the subject. That’s what my friend seems to do when I ask her but then again, I am pretty nosy.</p>
<p>“Don’t worry about it, son.” is usually what is said at my school.</p>
<p>I just tell them. I have nothing to hide.</p>
<p>I usually say “No comment.” If they press further, I tell them I did “okay” or “fine” (to which they respond: “What’d you get, a 99?” or something along those lines).</p>
<p>There’s this one kid in my APUSH class who I also had classes in 9th grade with, and every time we’ve gotten something back since the first day in 9th grade he always ask what I gets. I think it’s some sort of self-validation for him or something. A lot of times I’ll say, “0” or something like that to get him to laugh and forget about it, or I’ll say, “This time I actually got a 40 instead of 0,” but I’ve gotten tired of it lately so now I’ll just say, “One time in 9th grade I asked you what you got on a quiz and you told me I was only asking you your grade to brag about mine so I won’t tell you mine anymore,” and it shut him up pretty quick.</p>
<p>One time he went so far as to try and grab my research paper out of my hand. The ironic part is that my teacher’s really big on “your grade is yours to know so don’t be afraid to tell people know,” so if I really wanted to tell on him he’d probably get into some trouble.</p>
<p>I don’t mind telling people my grade, but if they ask every time and they aren’t a close friend, then it gets old quick.</p>
<p>@CE527M - There’s a guy at my school who does a thing similar to you - he tells people shockingly low grades/marks when people pester him. He is extremely intelligent and a lot of people want to compete with him or something and when people ask for his GPA (which is a 3.98) he’ll tell them like, 2.6 or something, and sometimes they believe him and are in shock, and then they leave him alone. Same goes for tests, he’ll tell them he got a 30 or a 55 when in reality, he virtually never gets anything lower than a 95.</p>
<p>I admit, I’m guilty of this myself, at times.</p>
<p>It gets annoying, and when I get a bad grade, I don’t like telling other people about it, but I just tell them; there’s no point in hiding it from them and saying “I don’t know” or “none of your business.” Sometimes I say the percentage or letter grade that I got, and others I reply with a vague comment, like “okay” or “decent” or “not bad.” Usually I’ll say my grade, then ask the other person how he/she did.</p>
<p>“No comment”
“Ehh”
“What did YOU get?” <em>they tell me</em> “Yeah, I got what you got”
“I forgot” <em>shoves paper in backpack</em>
“Obviously a 100. You know how good I am at math,” with a voice dripping with sarcasm.</p>
<p>I just really don’t like talking about grades, good or bad.</p>
<p>If it’s good, do what I suppose you would do unless they push you too far and just say it.</p>
<p>If it’s not good, try to keep it away and then drop an explanation of why you scored that way… “One dumb arithmetic error makes the problem impossible!” “This is pointless busywork anyways that I could care less of.” Speak the truth, but you keep reasons to not be perfect in everything because you don’t have to, given you distribute your time and effort well to the appropriate things.</p>
<p>I don’t hide it.</p>
<p>That’s why you don’t get bad grades. 
In all seriousness, when I get the occasional bad grade, I laugh it off, usually just saying how I bombed that or how I made a couple “careless” mistakes. My track record helps defend me though; the bad grades are pretty sporadic for me (thankfully!).</p>
<p>Whenever I get a bad grade, there’s usually an initial shock, unless I already knew that I was for sure gonna bomb that quiz/test. I kind of laugh it off, and I just try to do better next time.</p>
<p>I just tell people what I got, but I don’t go to a competitive school or anything.</p>
<p>If I get a bad grade I’m on a rampage around the school so most people will take the damn hint, but some people just have to ask. I tell everyone to “go away” (which is an embellishment) when I’m in rage mode, but I always tell someone after I’ve calmed down.</p>
<p>Lol when people ask, and I do well, I usually go for “I did aight.”</p>
<p>When I’ve done badly, I usually get pretty upset and will tell people that I bombed. What’s frustrating is when people are like “Oh, you’re marshmallowpop! A failure to you is a 95!”, and I’m like, “*****, I just got a 60.”
Yeah.</p>
